OOC: Just a quick note - Not all words are said as they are spelt. 
AND, the toys do NOT belong to your characters. They are ones Isabelle has provided, that were already placed on the cushions, so don't worry about hurting something of yours. Quote:

Ok, that's down. She practiced the jab. *jab jab jab*
Alright now, teddy, let's do this, she thought. She put it down and went back to where she was. "In-car-SOL-vo!" *jab* A net shot out and split her teddy into 2 halves.
O_O "Oh no!" she exclaimed. *face to palm slap*
O____o was a good face to pull. Issy had never seen anyone split something in two by doing this spell before. She didn't even know it was possible with a net, that was soft until it hit the ground. Twice.
Biting her lip, Isabelle walked over to Jaina and picked up the split teddy. With a flourish of her wand it was repaired, almost as good as new.
"Try and take things slowly, Jaina," she smiled.
"Conjuring isn't easy for young students, but...this is the first time I've seen anyone do that. Just stay calm." Quote:

Taking her wand inher hands she aimed it at the plush toy...
"Incarcolvo!" she yelled. A large black mesh erupted from the end of the wand and enclosed around the target. Emily was please she got it the first time but decided to continue practicing. After freeing her plush toy she tried again.
"Incarcolvo!" mesh erupted from her wand again..... "Eeeep!" it missed the target, the mesh landing to the side of the toy engulfing a spare cushion.
"Whoops", she said.
Continueing to practice Emily found it was becoming a lot easier, though she couldn't imagine actually trapping a live animal, that would be harder. At least toys didn't move.
"Incarcolvo!" she said trapping her stuffed toy in mesh again.
Raising her hand she said, "Professor, will we get to try this on a live target?" she asked. She very much wanted to prove to herself that she would be capable of it. After all in the line of being an Auror the skill would no doubt come in handy at some point.
As she thought, the older students were finding it a bit easier. Even if they didn't have the aim first time. heh. Live target? A shifty look spread across Isabelle's face, and she tapped the side of her nose towards Emily.
"We'll see." Quote:

Glancing around the field, there were no signs of that Hufflepuff, but then again, she couldn't really see. Not with her hood covering half her face and how she was practically cowering behind Evelyn.
Looking back at the Professor when she started to demonstrate the spell, Destiny lifted the hood up a little bit so she could see. Yeah, it would be so cool to capture Raccoon Girl in that net.
Standing up when it was time to practice, she moved the stuffed animal off the pillow and drew her wand. If she did capture anyone in it, it would be an accident. Honestly. The hood of her robes..making it hard to see. "In-car-SOL-vo. In-car-SOL-vo." she said, and once she was confident with the pronunciation, she practiced the jabbing motion. That part was easy. It was just like poking people!
And all together now!
"Incarcolvo!" Point. Jab.
Nothing.
Jab. Jab. Jab. Jab. Jab. Jab. Jab. Jab. Jab. Jab.
"I think my wand is broken."
"Are you making sure your mind is completely clear of other thoughts, Destiny?" After all, Patroclus was in this lesson. But Issy wasn't going to say that. No, she was just going to suggest that maybe the snake should...
"Be less forceful. Not all spells require such strong movements. Try and make it more fluid."
Making her way back to the front, Isabelle grinned and nodded at the kids who were doing well. The younger ones would need to concentrate harder, but there was no reason they couldn't at least get a net out. Maybe not always get it to stiffen as required, but you never knew.
"Carry on practising for now." Some of you need it.
